Welcome aboard!!

What a nicely setup 993 and in super-cool Glacier White. More details such as options, interior colour (or color, I'm Canadian eh), & mileage would be great. And, being a picture *****, MORE PICS!!!

Man I love those glacier white 993's, welcome to the group. I used to have an '87 e30, always wanted an m3 version, very cool.

Looks great welcome! Looks like a lot was already taken care of for you.

Watch out on the E30 M3 project, they can eat WAY more money then the 993!!!

Yes most mods were taken care of before I bought it. I did the front and rear RS bushings though. I forgot to add that I also switched to the solid subframe mounts in the rear.

Yes I am still in SD. Point Loma to be specific.

My E30 M3 has gone from my first car, to project car, to all out race car. I am know in the process of making it street legal again and using it as an autocross/track day car. I can snap some pics of that too

Here is another pic I took while out doing errands yesterday.



This is a pic I took after doing some detailing yesterday. I think it came out pretty well.



I am a novice when it comes to detailing, but here was my process for those interested.

Strip old wax with wash using Dawn
clay bar
3M Imperial hand glaze
Meguire's Gold Class carnuba wax
Rejex on the bumpers and wheels.
